This isn't a promotion or anything, but with all the greenwash nonsense out there trying to convince you to buy more unnecessary stuff in the name of sustainability I'm going to take a moment to rave about these resuable silicone tub tops I got which genuinely usefully meet a real need (and yes it's sad that that feels so unusual!)

Perhaps you know about the art collaboration between Herbert Duprat and #caddisflies producing precious #casings?
Inspired by this work, biologist Auke-Florian Hiemstra et al. worked about the cases for detecting #plasticWaste before the term #microplastics existed.

A fascinating thread about the scientists' detective work https://bsky.app/profile/aukeflorian.nl/post/3lmeqk4xpnc2m and the study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969725005820

I haven't checked the prices on these things lately but this sounds promising

like how solar PV energy is actually cost-compettive with natural gas these days, and (more subtly) is similarly available
